fender strakes kinda heavy yeah?
hey 8ter's,
just put the fender strakes on my 8, they feel kinda heavy for those vents don't they? i mean after taking the vent's off, it felt like the little plastic clips were barely holding the thing on...kinda worried with the extra weight of the strakes they might go flying off on some bump and then i would just lost like 100 dollars worth of plastic and metal lol. anyone have any bad expieriences?

Did you get the genuine Mazda strakes or the Stainless steel from the guy in England? I believe the stainless steel ones are much heavier than the aluminum strakes that Mazda sells.

Yes, I'm sure the stainless steel ones from England are heavier. I just received mine - they're beautiful. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna install 'em. They're a) heavy, and b) I'm not sure, but I think they might be "permanent" because of the double-sided tape. Would hate to mar the paint should I decide to remove 'em.

I've done it many times with NO ill effects (or scratches).

Yes!
Fall Off?
No.
3M Tape and screw on the OEM Strakes will hold them very nicely.
you are using the tape aren't you?
Yes!

Got mine from Howard (england). Excellent fit, shine & quality. Plus they reached me (RI) faster than ANY other item I've ordered from the States. If you're in any cold/rainy climate, go w/ the stainless.
